5
6	You want to [[ReversePolarity reverse the polarity]] on your particle defibrillator? Better get it to Mr. Fixit quickly.
7
8	It doesn't matter if Mr. Fixit has never seen ''it'' before, has never seen anything like it before, is unfamiliar with its working principles or doesn't even know the stuff the box is made out of; Mr. Fixit will be able to reverse engineer it in time for the big finale. He will often possess MachineEmpathy, and can diagnose a broken gadget just by looking at it.
9
10	Overlaps with MadScientist, though not all Mr. Fixits are scientists or doctors; some are just avid tinkerers with a lot of free time. Compare WrenchWench. Often overlaps with GadgeteerGenius. Subtrope of TheEngineer. Occasionally keep themselves in work by means of TimTaylorTechnology, which creates more things to fix.
11
12	Unrelated to ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk, who used the alias "Mr. Fixit" in the late 1980s. And no, this page does not center around the fox in Creator/RichardScarry's Busytown, either (although he is an example of this trope).
13	----
14	!!Examples:
15
16	[[foldercontrol]]
17
18	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
19	* ''Manga/DragonBall'': Bulma is a clear example. Able to build nearly anything with time and resources. She even took an alien scouter, and within a few hours or days, somehow changed its language from whatever alien space language it used, to Japanese (or English, or whatever language)!
20	** It should be noted that the scouter did not display a language, only numbers, and deciphering a numbering system is actually very easy to figure out, relative to a language at least. Deciphering an operating system written in a different numbering system and converting it to display a new language. More impressive was her ability to do repairs on the alien vehicle that they reverse engineered ... as a young girl.
21	** It's InTheBlood: Bulma's son, Trunks, also has a knack for figuring out alien tech. He was able to repair the alien RobotBuddy Giru with little issue.
22	* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': Leeron Theoretically, every device after the timeskip could be [[spoiler:his invention, or a descendant of something invented. Yes, one man started his whole planet's industrial revolution.]]
23	* ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'': Presea [[spoiler:and in the anime, her BackupTwin Sierra]] can create and repair ''any'' type of weapon.
24	%%* ''Anime/{{Simoun}}'': Wapourif.
25	* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'':
26	** Yusei Fudo grew up in the slums of Satellite, but that didn't stop him from teaching himself mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to the point where he could build his own D-Wheel from the scrap and spare parts tossed away by the people of New Domino... twice. [[spoiler:Thrice if you've watched the Japanese version.]] He also made a Duel Board (a skateboard with D-wheel capabilities) just by ''hearing about it'' from Rua... ''''in one night''''! Understandable, since [[spoiler:[[InTheBlood his parents were top scientists]]]].
27	** Also Bruno, who on his first appearance managed to increase the power of the guys' D-Wheels where Yusei couldn't.
28	%%* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Franky. Usopp as well, especially before Franky joined the crew.
29	* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': Winry shows the ability to fix most mechanical gadgets and break open locks (sealed with alchemy!) in addition to being a master of fixing automail.
30	* ''Anime/SpeedRacer'': Lionel "Pops" Racer. He's the one who designed and built the [[CoolCar Mach]] [[SuperRobot 5]].
31	* On ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'', Howard fixes Duo's Gundam, and makes a living selling scrap metal and refurbishing weapons and the like. Duo learned from him, and (despite his {{Fanon}} reputation as a klutz) is quite an accomplished tinkerer himself.
32	* ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'' has the Automobile Club serve as this, with many an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome as well.
33	** First is fixing five abandoned Panzers overnight. Five Panzers, all of which were abandoned for 20 years and left in the most ungodly places imaginable. Only one of the Panzers was found in storage -- the rest were scattered over the academy, with the prize going to the [[spoiler:[=StuG=] III left in a pond]] and the [[spoiler:Type 89 I-Go in a crevice, on a cliff, at a minimum of fifty feet from either the top and bottom of the cliff.]]
34	** Second comes in restoring the [[spoiler:Tiger (P) or Porsche Tiger]], an infamously difficult beast, as well as maintaining it ''while driving it''. To quote, (After the Panzer throws a track, stalls out, and catches fire in the space of a minute) "Aw, here we go again, eh? Hoshino! Hand me the fire extinguisher!"
35	* ''Manga/TwilightStarSuiAndNeri'':
36	** Mori is a polar bear who is adept in fixing old tech to sell it to others with little success. He fixes tech that are considered extremely ancient and outdated by the standards of this story's era.
37	** Den is a fox who is knowledgeable in fixing broken technologies including air conditioner, but unlike the example with Mori, Den is not used to the above surface at first.
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:Comic Books]]
41	* ''Franchise/TheDCU'':
42	** ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': From the late '80s to early 2000s, Batman has the mechanical genius Harold Allnut working for him on his various vehicles and the cave itself.
43	** ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInternational often turns to Kilowog of the ComicBook/GreenLantern Corps for all their tech needs. The most extreme example is probably when he built the Club JLI resort on the island of [=KooeyKooeyKooey=] for ComicBook/BoosterGold and ComicBook/BlueBeetle in a matter of hours. In later incarnations of the team, this role is taken by ComicBook/{{Steel}} and ComicBook/MisterTerrific. Both characters are also {{Genius Bruiser}}s.
44	** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': H'Elgn is able to fix up or direct the repairs and modification of a wide array of space vessels captured from the Sangtee Empire, whips up a bionic eye for one of the revolutionaries whose eyes were put out by the empire, and builds a long distance holographic device to further spread their message and trick empire agents.
45	* ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'': Taken to the extreme in Forge, whose mutant ability helps him build machines by simply imagining what they should do, rather than working out the pesky details.
46	* ''ComicBook/{{Promethea}}'' has an unusual example -- Stan of the Five Swell Guys is clearly the Mr. Fixit of the team, but Marv claims to be the [[TheSmartGuy team genius]]. This subversion of SuperheroSpeciation becomes a plot-point when [[spoiler:it's revealed that Stan created the team's arch-nemesis, the Painted Doll, due to his resentment of Marv.]]
47	* ComicBook/DeathsHead's {{Sidekick}} Spratt is pretty competent with a toolbox, and rebuilt Death's Head after he was nearly destroyed by the Dragon's Claws, although not to the level of a GadgeteerGenius.
48	%%* ''ComicBook/StormwatchPHD'': Dino Manolis, aka the Machinist, excels at this. Too bad, he sucks at most everything else in life.%%Excels at what? How?
49	* ''ComicBook/PS238'': Herschel Clay, [[spoiler:a.k.a. "Mantium"]]. As the janitor for a school for [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual metahumans]], he's (obviously) a metahuman himself and has a love of tinkering. He's also implied to own Clay Industries, which sells most of the inventory, security doodads, and other components of the school and its security system. Exactly why the owner and main braintrust for a (presumably) multinational corporation [[NonIdleRich works as a janitor at a school]] is anyone's guess.
50	[[/folder]]
51
52	[[folder:Film -- Animation]]
53	* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': Fix-It Felix Jr., thanks to his magic golden hammer that can fix anything by just whacking it. In a twist of irony, this actually comes back to bite him [[spoiler:when he's imprisoned in King Candy's castle, because any attempts to break the bars on his cell only end up fixing them so that they're stronger than before]].
54	* ''WesternAnimation/RaggedyAnnAndAndyAMusicalAdventure'': One of the male toys in Marcella's nursery is Maxie Fixit, who can open his head and literally pull tools out of his brain.
55	* ''WesternAnimation/PlanesFireAndRescue'': Maru. If he can't get the necessary piece, he'll make it from scratch. "It's not new, it's ''better'' than new."
56	[[/folder]]
57
58	[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
59	* ''Film/LuckyStar'': After UsefulNotes/WorldWarI renders him a paraplegic, Tim becomes this. As he explains it, "Never thought much about broken things, until I got smashed up myself. That gave me the idea."
60	* ''Film/MyNameIsKhan'': Rizwan Khan has the ability to repair almost anything. Eventually he uses that talent to earn some money.
61	* In ''Film/TheGatlingGun'', CampCook Tin Pot has real talent for mechanical contrivances, and is able to file down a railroad spike to juryrig a firing pin for the Gatling gun. However, it breaks after one firing because he has no means of tempering it.
62	* ''Film/MarvinsRoom'': During Lee's second visit to the mental hospital to talk to Hank, she takes note of his dirty appearance, and he tells her that he's been working on an engine. Later on, he becomes fascinated with his grandfather's old tools, and Bessie bequeaths them to him. He eventually fixes Bessie's garage door with his newly acquired tools.
63	[[/folder]]
64
65	[[folder:Literature]]
66	* ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'': [[OurGnomesAreWeirder Tinker Gnomes]] of Krynn. Of course it may not work as their non-gnome friends would hope. [[spoiler:The Device of Time Journeying]] in particular could be repaired by any gnome (even one who thinks it's a meat grinder), although it's not mechanical and the parts consist of pieces of gold, a chain, and a couple thousand gemstones.
67	* ''Literature/{{Busytown}}'' features a recurring character called Mr. Fixit, a fox repairman who can repair anything.
68	* In ''Literature/AlienInASmallTown,'' Indira is an ex-engineer from a [[SpaceStation space station,]] where she was known as the "Fix-It Lady." Now living in a small town, she opens a repair shop called the Fix-It Shop.
69	%%* In ''Literature/TheMoteInGodsEye'', the Motie Engineer caste (Browns), and the Motie Miniatures.
70	* ''Literature/TheYellowBag'': The House of Repairs features an entire family of people who can fix anything, from furniture and electronics to a real, live dog. [[spoiler:They are the ones who fix the Umbrella after she breaks a few ribs]].
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
74	%%* ''Series/TheAdventuresOfBriscoCountyJr'': Professor Wickwire.
75	%%* ''Series/{{Andromeda}}''L Seamus Harper (the Engineer).
76	%%* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': Fred.
77	* In ''Series/AuctionKings'', Delfino can fix just about anything. Only once has he been forced to get outside help (The Calliope).
78	* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': Chief Tyrol and Specialist Cally. Hell, even Starbuck gets into the tech mood now and then (see the Cylon Raider in the first season).
79	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Warren might be an example of a villainous Mr. Fixit, while Willow was something of a [[WrenchWench Ms. Fixit]].
80	%%* ''Series/{{Eureka}}'': Henry.
81	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Doctor has a tendency to be a MrFixit, though he usually ''has'' seen, encountered, disassembled, built, and even ''created'' some of the items in question. Not that that's a requirement. In "Utopia", he fixes a rocket mere minutes after admitting he has no idea how it works. What's great is that he applies his own superior-in-normal-circumstances knowledge which gives him a "so obvious they overlooked it" answer (reverse the circuit).
82	** Perkins the engineer from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E8MummyOnTheOrientExpress "Mummy on the Orient Express"]] is implied to be this, to the point of suggesting that the Doctor replace a couple of the TARDIS' drive stacks.
83	* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': Kaylee demonstrates her prowess while having... relations... with her predecessor on ''Serenity''. Literally. She was on her back on the engine room floor and she saw what was wrong with the engine while the mechanic was preoccupied with being on top of her. It's implied that she made out with him specifically in order to get a chance to look at the engine of a real spaceship.
84	* ''Series/GilligansIsland'': The Professor made a freakin' car out of BambooTechnology, which was actually spoofed in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales''.
85	%%* ''Series/Jericho2006'': Heather. The term "Miss Fixit" is actually used as an insult by some members of the fandom who don't like her. It somewhat backfires when the fans who did like her decided they ''liked'' the nickname.%%Fanon. How is she this in canon?
86	%%* ''Series/{{Lost}}'': Sayid.
87	* ''Series/{{Mash}}'': Referenced by name in an episode where the nurses wake up Hawkeye (strange in itself given that he's the chief surgeon and dangerously overworked) to fix the heater in their tent. Turns out he's better at fixing people than [[StuffBlowingUp heaters]].
88	%%* ''Series/StargateSG1'': Sam Carter is a Ms. Fixit, as well as TheSquadette.%%How?
89	%%* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'': Rodney [=McKay=] .
90	%%* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': Scotty.
91	%%* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Geordi La Forge.
92	* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'':
93	** Miles O'Brien. Being a character transplanted from ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', he only displays this same skillset on that show if something goes wrong with a transporter, and then only under Geordi La Forge's supervision.
94	** Rom is dimwitted about everything but technology. He's the only person who understands the mix of Cardassian, Federation, Bajoran and Ferengi parts (as well as several cooking utensils) that make up the electrical components of Quark's bar. His son Nog (also a promising engineer) claims that he could be the Chief Engineer of a starship with the right breaks.
95	* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': Harry Kim may be an Ensign fresh out of the Academy, but he's almost as much of a mechanical whiz as B'Elanna Torres. He often pitches in with the engineering duties on board the ship and is recognised as an expert on holo-technology. The main difference between Harry and B'Elanna is that while B'Elanna is great at working on her feet with limited resources, Harry is better at theory and design.
96	%%* On ''Series/TopGearUK'''': The cast are portrayed as this Steve, the director of the Technology Centre, becomes something of an AscendedExtra after the Britcar 24-Hour Race.
97	* ''Series/MacGyver1985'': The guy built a glider out of trash and junk in an attic.
98	* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': Gibbs with anything mechanical as showcased in ''Power Down''. If it's got electricity running through it, you're pretty much screwed. Let's not even think about computers. But has the power gone out and do you need to make copies with a machine no one has used or heard of in hundred years? Gibbs's got your back. That's okay though, if it ''does'' have electricity, odds are both [=McGee=] ''and'' Abbey are capable of fixing it.
99	* ''Series/{{JAG}}'': Meg Austin in the first season, if it's got anything to do with fixing computers or computerized weapons systems.
100	* ''Series/SesameStreet'': Luis and Maria. They run the local fix-it shop.
101	* ''Series/TheRedGreenShow'': Red Green is something of a subversion. He fancies himself a practical Mr. Fixit, but his duct tape reinforced inventions seem to work ''in spite'' of his best efforts.
102	* ''Series/JustAddMagic'': The "Chicken n' Fixits" spell can turn whoever it's used on into this. However, unless they finish the task they originally set out to do, they'll become obsessed with fixing anything and everything they see.
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Music]]
106	* Music/JasonMraz: "Frank D. Fixer", about his grandfather.
107	* Music/FrankZappa: Subverted in ''Flakes'' from ''Music/SheikYerbouti'', where the repair men are incompetent beyond the term itself.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Pinball]]
111	* ''[[Pinball/LexyLightspeed Lexy Lightspeed - Escape from Earth]]'': Ronnie Earl can fix anything with nothing more than duct tape, bubble gum, and a few parts from Area 53.1.
112	[[/folder]]
113
114	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
115	* ''Franchise/TheWorldOfDarkness'':
116	** ''TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness'':
117	*** Some character types from various settings are dab hands at smash repairs, including Sons of Ether from ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'' (who think they're doing Science rather than magic) and Glass Walkers from ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse '' (who could talk to the spirits of machines).
118	*** ''TabletopGame/ChangelingTheDreaming'': Nockers. They've go a knack for all things mechanical, and can fix broken machines by giving them a [[PercussiveMaintenance good hard thump]] or scowling and telling them off.
119	** In ''TabletopGame/ChangelingTheLost'', the Wizened often take on this role. They have access to [[FunctionalMagic Contracts]] that allow them to make a hovercraft out of a lawnmower and an inner tube.
120	** ''TabletopGame/PrincessTheHopeful'': Menders are a cross between this and [[TheMedic the Medic]]; either way they fulfill their calling by fixing things (since healing can be redefined as "repairing living beings"). Some Restore charms can also be used to repair items, such as Jury Rigger which temporarily restores a broken machine to Durability 1. Princesses who are followers of the Queen of Diamonds or the Ambassador to the Machine can be this as well.
121	* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': Bulabars, a type of fey embodying the emergence of tool use in nature, will cheerfully fix broken objects as they come across them, and even repair their enemies' broken gear once hostilities end -- they can't stand seeing useful mechanisms be broken.
122	* In ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}'', Sword Worlders have a great admiration for this. They make machines specifically to make them easy for a DeterminedHomesteader to tinker with.
123	* ''TabletopGame/SpiritOfTheCentury'': The literal "Mister Fix-It" stunt serves mainly to reduces repair times to about one-quarter normal; this doesn't ''directly'' provide any bonuses to the attempt, but does essentially allow the character to more easily take "extra time" as required.
124	[[/folder]]
125
126	[[folder:Video Games]]
127	* ''VideoGame/{{Battletech}}'': By the standards of the setting, Yang's ability to restore, rewire and remodel [[HumongousMecha Battlemechs]] in a few days is nothing short of miraculous even before [[spoiler:he gets access to the Argo, which was designed to carry entire colonies' worth of material and allows him near-infinite space for tinkering and storage]]. Depending on game rules and how much you upgrade his mechlab, Yang is able to weld together pieces of disparate 'mech wrecks back into fully operational machines complete with weapon loadouts, and remodel them with a speed and flexibility only beaten by [=OmniMechs=] in the lore. Speaking with him implies Yang could easily get a job in any Inner Sphere house, but he likes working with a small-time merc outfit ''because'' it gives him the freedom to tinker.
128	* ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'': In the intro, Lance Galahad is adamant at fixing computers, and sees that the way to fix one computer is by using [[MacGyvering bubble gum]] for connection... or at least [[SolidGoldPoop a snotty substitute]]. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Unfortunately, all this is slowly and suddenly]] [[TakeOverTheWorld going to hell...]]
129	* ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'': Eddie Riggs, as the ultimate roadie can make and fix any stage equipment given the time and resources.
130	* ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'': Lucca single-handedly fixes a robot made with distant future technology, not once, not twice, but [[RuleOfThree on three separate occasions]].
131	* ''VideoGame/{{Constructor}}'': "Mr. Fixit" is an inversion: he's a cowboy builder who the player can send to sabotage the opposition's houses by "repairing" the [[KillItWithWater plumbing]], [[ShockAndAwe electrics]] or [[MadeOfExplodium gas]].
132	%%* ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'': Kazuichi "Ultimate Mechanic" Souda.
133	* In ''VideoGame/DiceyDungeons'', Ned is TheBlacksmith and repairman for everyone in the dungeon, which is why he's so popular.
134	* ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'': Jeff. All you needed is a place to sleep for the night and he can turn your Broken Iron into a Slime Generator, provided that his IQ stat is high enough.
135	* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'': A {{Courier}} with high Science and Repair skill is exactly this. The unskilled can fix anything given spare parts, high Repair allows a courier to fix anything mechanical ''without'' spare parts, and high Science to fix anything electronical, here again without spare parts. Fuse boxes, solar panels, busted eyebot, faulty compass, faulty navigational computer, food processors, a MatterReplicator... Of course, such skills also allow for sabotage. Jury-Rigging, a perk the Courier can take, is an even worse offender, allowing to fix a PowerFist with RedBoxingGloves, an anti-material SniperRifle with a BB Gun, a suit of PowerArmor with ordinary metal armor, leather armor with a business suit, a light bulletproof vest with the previous two pieces of clothing... How does the courier do it? Only s/he knows.
136	* ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'': Anything at all break down for Delta Squad? Damon Baird's on it, with a growl, and a sarcastic comment about how much you guys suck at fixing things. Seriously, this guy basically repairs everything in the game. And then gives you lip about it. If he weren't so funny, (and your allies weren't immune to friendly fire) he'd probably have eaten a shotgun by now. [[note]]Anyone else notice that he looks like a bulked up version of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cid Highwind]]? [[/note]]
137	* ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'': Helnar. As shown in the event "A Slice of Summer" and the beginning of his 5★ upgrade Fate Episode, he knows how to draw up blueprints and fix up his robot-bird friend with relative ease.
138	* ''VideoGame/{{Homeworld}}'' is one of the worst offenders regarding this trope. Within minutes of encountering an enemy vessel you've never seen before, you are informed that your own research team is ready to build an identical ship. Even when the ship in question is a millions-year old {{Precursor}} machine that's been lost to time, your trusty Hiigaran scientists can quickly devise countermeasures to them and even reverse-engineer them to produce copies.
139	* ''VideoGame/JaggedAlliance'': Both Trevor and Static start with the highest mechanical skill and can pretty much repair anything ingame.
140	* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'': In ''Ages'', Patch lives atop Restoration Wall and has the expertise to repair just about anything someone might bring him--provided they participate in his "trap, er...ceremony". Link is required to bring him a broken nut from Symmetry Village to repair it and restore its symmetry. Later, once Link obtains the Broken Sword at the end of a long FetchQuest, he can bring it to Patch who will transform it into the Noble Sword (or the Master Sword, if the player already has the Noble Sword by means of a Linked Game).
141	* ''VideoGame/MadMax2015'': Max's companion Chumbucket is a mechanical prodigy, able to turn the Magnum Opus from a rusty hull to a battle-ready WeaponizedCar with little aside from scrap metal and repair major damage in seconds. While Max views the Opus as a simple means of transportation, Chumbucket [[CargoCult sees it as a religious artifact]].
142	* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': The Quarians are [[PlanetOfHats an entire race of master mechanics]], as they live a space-bound existence on giant {{Generation Ship}}s which also happen to be very old and pretty much constantly in a state of falling apart.
143	* In ''VideoGame/NoUmbrellasAllowed'', the owner of 1st Repair Shop can fix up to two of your broken items a day as long as they're "Fairly Damaged" or worse. Depending on the item's other attributes, he can either fix it immediately or take an extra day to do so, but he can't repair "Totally Wrecked" items.
144	* ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'': Ratchet is not only a [[OneManArmy One-Lombax Army]], but also a qualified mechanic and inventor, and is capable of fixing pretty much anything. However, when it comes to repairs made by Ratchet, [[PlanetOfHats or any other Lombax]], [[BunglingInventor actual results may vary]]. Then there's the Plumber, [[RecurringTraveler appearing frequently since]] ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002'', and also capable of repairs on all sorts of wacky stuff; however, he does prefer to focus on actual plumbing.
145	* In ''VideoGame/ScrapMechanic'', the {{Player Character}}s are, among other things, this. The game casts the players as {{Gadgeteer Genius}}es who can have their own creations break down or malfunction, or -- come the implementation of [[SurvivalSandbox Survival Mode]] -- encounter pre-existing broken machinery on their travels around the gameworld. Naturally, a lot of fixing, scavenging, and MacGyvering is bound to occur.
146	%%* ''Franchise/StarFox'': Slippy Toad.
147	* ''VideoGame/StarWarsKnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'': Bao-Dur . The player character in both games can become one as well, if his/her "Repair" skill is high enough.
148	* ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'' has the world of video games and ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' merging, turning the Poopsmith into "Mista Fixit", who naturally can fix broken objects.
149	* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': The Engineer, although he's better at [[MoreDakka making weapons]] than [[InvertedTrope actually fixing stuff]].
150	* The ''VideoGame/WingCommander'' games have a long series of Mr Fixits, in the form of the various crew chiefs that keep your fighter flying sometimes via the combined magics of {{Duct Tape\|For Everything}} and strong language. Nicknames for these folks include "Sparks" and "Pliers".
151	[[/folder]]
152
153	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
154	* The protagonist of ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'' generally fixes everything in the diner himself rather than calling professionals. Kathy questions him about why he finds it so easy when he’s about to fix the dishwasher, and he handwaves it by stating that he just sees the logic of it.
155	* Lampshaded by Becca in ''VisualNovel/{{Melody}}'' if the protagonist offers to fix her faucet. She calls him "my personal Mr. Fixit."
156	* In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'', the DLC case "Turnabout Time-Traveller" has Pierce Nichody, the Sprocket Family mechanic, although he often just gives whatever is broken to his shoulder robot FIXR-UPR, such as an antique radio Maya smashed by accident. It's repaired in seconds. [[spoiler:Once you push him far enough in court, he upgrades FIXR-UPR in a matter of seconds, including giving it a working X-ray device as he enters his OneWingedAngel state.]]
157	[[/folder]]
158
159	[[folder:Web Animation]]
160	* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': [[MeaningfulName Handy]], but only if said fixing takes place off-screen. If not, his [[IronicName lack of hands]] will trip him up.
161	[[/folder]]
162
163	[[folder:Webcomics]]
164	* ''Webcomic/CheckPlease'': Dex is a compsci major that usually fixes stuff around the Haus, particularly appliances as the oven and the washing machine.
165	%%* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Tedd graduates from this into a MadScientist.
166	* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Sparks are most often notable for their ability to fairly ridiculous things with machinery, such as taking wrecked applicants and turning them into {{Steampunk}} mad science devices with only a few boxes of spare parts. DoubleSubverted all the time, as they often have their projects explode several times in the building progress. Notably, Agatha had a coffee maker she was working on explode, but went on to finish the coffee maker so well that it makes ''[[LemonWackyHello perfect]]'' coffee.
167	* ''Webcomic/TheWhiteboard'': Doc can fix just about anything without much trouble (notably, his ''paintball shop'' carries ''car parts.''). The questions are whether he'll accept the job, whether he'll do it without [[HyperspaceMallet clobbering you]] for [[DopeSlap doing whatever dumb thing you did to break it]], and whether it'll come back to you [[MadScientist without any unspecified nuclear components added.]]
168	-->'''Doc:''' With the right filler rod I can fix the crack of dawn.
169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:Web Original]]
172	* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'':
173	** Sarge. Lopez and Tex have good (if not better) mechanical skills too, but Sarge takes home the trophy for the ''way'' in which he goes about his repairs, such as somehow repairing a jeep without any tools or spare parts. Or better yet, rebuilding Simmons as a cyborg and using the leftover body parts to heal Grif after he was run over by a tank.
174	** Caboose, despite [[TheDitz being a flagrant dumbass]], has shown considerable skill at maintaining and operating technology. While this was originally limited to getting along well with AI, this has developed into an ability to activate and repair highly rare robotics.
175	* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': There are dozens of such kids at the Academy. The mutant powers 'gadgeteer' and 'deviser' basically give a person this kind of power. Some are better at building their own devises, and some are better at working on others' gadgets. The side character codenamed Belphegor is excellent at taking other gadgets and devises and adapting them to his needs. However, he tends to steal other people's stuff before doing the adaptation bit.
